My colleague and collaborator GreyKnight told me this morning that he is building a megadungeon. I thought I’d give him a bit of a nudge, and ran a little random generator I’m working on to build a set of 500 Old School styled adventuring sites. The tables originated with Matt …

I always find it fun when I talk to someone and it leads me to ideas I wouldn’t have had otherwise. Last night at dinner my son asked if I’d written any more for my campaign. I told him about the campaign premise for Seekers of Lore, including the campaign …
“Kamiwaza” is a Japanese word meaning “godly skill”. This video is a little over twelve minutes long and shows the winner of a ‘Kamiwaza contest’ (I don’t read Japanese, so I’m largely inferring from observation, and my wife confirmed that that’s more or less what’s happening here). This person basically …
The campaign premise I posted earlier was prompted by an idea I had regarding an alternate set of goals characters might have, and how that might be encouraged. Early editions of Dungeons & Dragons focused character advancement largely on treasure acquisition — you got most of your experience points by escaping …
I’m planning a new campaign, to be run as a open table sandbox in the West Marches style. Almost nine years ago, I wrote about a campaign cosmology that has sat at the back of my mind since. The gods created Paradise in order to avoid the effects of Amorphia, …
I like having GreyKnight around. He’s good at making sense of weird ideas (including one time devising a god for whom afternoon tea is a sacred ritual when I commented that the idea of a steam domain didn’t do much for me). After I split the new gods into eight groups, …
I started a new pantheon this morning, resulting in 44 gods (or at least, 44 sets of domains, to be described as gods with portfolios and the like). First, I’ll start by splitting them up into groups of gods that are related somehow. I don’t particularly want them to be …
It seems I enjoy creating new pantheons using the Polyhedral Pantheons method. I liked how the last one was shaping up, but it’s based on the older dodecahedron model. I started looking into an alternate model based on 2d10 rather than a single die, and that looked like it had …
When building setting elements to be shared with others, or at least significant elements of such a world, do you think it is more useful if they are specific and ready for use, but perhaps harder to adapt, or more generic and easily adapted? For instance, if I were to …
